Isn't there a difference between the definition of savory-the-flavor and savory-the-dinner-course, though?
Oh sure - the noun is just my personal jumping-off point. I still think savory-the-adjective is the opposite of "sweet" though.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

I think of savory as describing possibly-but-not-necessarily salty flavors, like bread, crackers, cheese, meat, and some unsweet soups. Basically, anything that makes me thirsty for a drink other than milk or water.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

There is a lot of that going around. I'm feeling PMS emotional over this and I am absolutely not PMS'ing right now.

This is how I use it, but that is probably the French influence, where (taste-wise) you are either "sucré" or "salé." Technically these mean sweet/salty, but in practice, it means you either prefer sweet things or savory things.

Sounds like you missed a really wild fun-filled date there.

The savory is a little bite of something rich, salty, and piquant—a marrow toast, perhaps, or a stuffed egg, a talmouse (a kind of cheese tartlet), or a potted lobster.
I realize this is "savory" as a noun, but it still hews pretty closely to how I think of "savory" as an adjective. (Well, mostly the "rich" part. And then add in the not-sweet part, and that's savory-the-adjective, in my brain.)
